  • Don't know if I can take it sitting down.

  • yes, AI is crap, but it might not be crap some day, so just you wait!”

    I mean, there's a gap between the capabilities of Cleverbot and ChatGPT, as referenced in this very comments section. As much as one wishes it not be so, it would be foolish to ignore past technological leaps—and how people back then laugh them off as impossible.

  • The Italian Brainrot memes sound better than those.

  • espeaks looks pretty cool. Thanks for sharing.

  • According to the beta testers, and the Internet, listeners abhorred the LLM localization & actual tone-deaf Speech audio dubbing. Keeping the original dubbings is simply what folks want, esp. if it’s labeled abridged.

    Yes, at its current state. Will it stay that way? The tech companies are burning cash in attempts to make it not so. My hunch says even Vocaloid-tier AI dubbing will be enough for a large sector of the audience. Then the human vs. AI dubbing debate could be analogous to debates between lossy (more accessible) vs. lossless (higher quality) audio.

    Now, LLM localization is the greater challenge. I highly doubt those, including the classic machine-learning models, can reach N1-level localization quality.

  • I prefer proper VA dubbing versus AI dubbing. This is more of a question if the viewership prefers AI dub vs. no dub if proper dubs are not yet available.

    bruv every anime listed in MAL has runtimes, lengths, and additional metadata.

    Fair, I don't have the time right now to be 100% accurate at my figures, so I went with a rough estimate. I tried to be as clear as I can on that point.

    there are few N1 localizers willing to work at the 硬貨 on the دينار for whatever AMZN is valued at

    If it's only easy for fandubs to be readily available. Like there are few N1 localizers willing to work at Amazon's assessed rates, few IP holders are willing to say yes to dubbing their shows at the money fandubbers can afford. There's also hiring the proper voice actors for the characters, and the ones who do the anime justice/will not have the fans crucifying the anime for doing a craptastic job at dubbing deservedly ask a premium.

  • There are ~25K anime in MyAnimeList. If we assume that there are 250K episodes with a total average length of 25 minutes, each, we are talking about dubbing 6.25 million minutes overall.

    Let's say 80% of them is not yet dubbed, that'll be 5M minutes. Netflix delayed KaoruHana for at least two months to dub 8 episodes * 25 minutes, so they likely took three months to complete 200 minutes of footage i.e. a rate of 0.3 anime minutes/VA minute. Let's say there are 100 organizations with three teams of dubbers each, so the rate can be expanded to 90 anime minutes/VA minute overall.

    Clearing the backlog will require 55K minutes. That's 925 hours/115 business days, or almost a year. I guess it is possible if we wait this long. And this calculation ignores time to select the right VA for the job, paying the amount the VAs request to accept the job, plus a whole lot of other factors I failed to mention or I don't even know exist.

    And this is for just one language (English), and I'm still waiting for the Italian dub of JoJo Part 5.

  • On one hand: It's impossible to dub every single anime at a reasonable time.

    On the other: I totally see the big companies refusing to hire real actors for dubbing because 'muh profits'

  • Just finished The Fragrant Flower Blooms With Dignity. I was so, so happy with how it ended. I started watching it a little concerned about cut corners with its animation, but it stuck the landing so well it exceeded my expectations from the moment I saw its announcement visual.

    Summer 2025 is a season to never forget, and I doubt there could be anything like this for a long time.

    My top #11, #12, and #13 anime are all romance anime, all liked and loved for different reasons. My personal ranking of these are very close together.

    #11: Your Lie in April (Drama)

    #12: The Dangers in My Heart (MC Chemistry and Actual Romance)

    #13: The Fragrant Flower Blooms With Dignity (Art, general story tone, and the iyashikei aspect)

    I hope someday Evan Call, Handa Jukki, and Kuroki Miyuki collaborate together in a single work.
